However, it is a regrettable fact that a much larger number of citizens have not considered it their duty or responsibility to lend cne dollar. This apathy and lack of sense of responsibility savors of the complacency that brought about the occupation of Norway. Denmark and other countries by Nazi hordes. Those people who from a lack of realizing soon enough their responsibility are now forced to contribute outright vastly greater sums of money and kindred wealth to their conquerors than we are asked to lend" on extremely favorable terms. We are asked to lend our govern- j ment funds to provide the machinery of war to assure that we will not; find ourselves in the same unfor- j tunate condition that these people j now find themselves. We in this district have not at-tained the quota of Victory Loan bends set. for us.

K.C., returned from Vancouver on Saturday last after opposing for the crown the apixv.i of Tar as Krawchuk from a sentence of death imposed by Mr. Justice Sidney Smith at Prince George assizes on May 17 last. The appeal was dismissed. Krawchuk was twice tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged for the murder of his wife by shooting on September 14. 1940. The crime took place at the Krawchuk farm situated at the city limits, south end of Vancouver street. In the first trial in October last Mr. Justice H. B. Robertson sentenced Krawchuk to hang on January 10, 1940. This was taken to the B.C. Court of Appeal which ordered a new trial on the grounds that the �trial judge had not sufficiently instructed the jury on the law of provocation. This decision was taken by the B.C. attorney-general to the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld the decision of the appeal coutr, and a new trial was held at the May assizes this year in Prince George. Krawchuk was again adjudged guilty by a jury on May 17 and sentenced to be hanged on August 7 next. With his last appeal unanimously dismissed by the B.C. Court of Appeal, Krawchuk has now exhausted all legal means of evading the death sentence and will hang August 7. by gram of the United States will fea- ture a demand for products of local mills and allow of a diversity of re-c,un-ementS. thus providing a wider S f�[e��sraU3rs to build up their Prices available in the US market are not all that could be desired bv central interior producers Star Mm? ?e in view of the impossibility 01 catering- in any.quantitv tn prairie and eastern Canadian mar-kcus at me present time �ZheMpres?nt outlook does not suggest the likelihood of " creases in production in y Jocal oper-will continue production basis. �UtPUt �U tdday's staff Junior Chamber Commerce To Buy Victory Loan Bonds A dinner meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce is calletiHr Tuesday.
